Tux Pennsylvania high license law
goes into effect June 30, and Is considered
worry satisfactory, though the fee does
not ruu as high as in Illinois. The rate is
$500 for Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
Allegheny; 500 in the smaller cities;
5000 in boroughs, and 500 in townships.
The granting OF licenses is given, in the
large cities as well as in the state, to the
court of quarter sessions, which probably
removes the issue as far from politics AS
possible, and was fought by the saloon
interests accordingly. The state gets
one fifth. the county one fifth and the
municipality three-tifths of the license
revenue.

Now that Salisbury has got the

law which might have been made eff
fective by Laud or STAFFORD two hun
dred and fifty years ago can be practi-
csally carried out in the broad blaze OF
the close of the nineteenth century.
The suspension indefinitely of habeas
corpas; the abolishment of trial by
jury; and the incidental taboo upon
the liberty of the press, are all CHASTITY
relics of an age that cannot be galvan-
lied into life in our era Of free thought
and liberal principles. In order to
enforce this statute the public opinion
Of the whole enlightened world must
be outraged. Its mandates will be re-
sisted and Ireland will have to be
placed in a state of siege. The Min
istry will be attacked at all points,
and its power will he undermined

THE Chautauquans made serious
mistake in their opening nights pre-

perform a miracle. They attempted
it, and they ignobly failed. By some
inconceivable error of judgment, they
selected two Los Angeles editors to
open the proceedings. Under any
circumstances that would have. been a
mistake hut when we consider that
these gentlemen have for months been
as harmonious as fire and water, the
stupendousness of the error. will be
appreciated. These editors have per.
sistently denounced each other in un-
measured terms, and the amity Of cats
and dogs is only faint simile with
which to illustrate the cordiality oi
the relations that have subsisted be-
tween them. 1t would, we confess
have been touching and beautiful
sight to have seen these two
gentlemen brought amicably together,
dropping their antipathies and laying
their animosities on the altar of SYM
pathy in fraternal exhibition for the
benefit of culture and morality. But
even the admirable aims and wishes
of the Chautauquans were unequal to
the production of this sublime spec
tacle. Both the editors failed to keep
their appointments, and the good
natured people who had hoped to
throw oil upon the troubled editorial
waters came out of the attempt wiser,

THE charges made by yesterdays
dispatches of brutality against the
Warden of Folsom prison could only
have imposed upon those who do not
know General McComb. He is man
of great executive ability, just and
dispassionate in the discharge
of his duty, and perhaps the
most successful practical penologist in
the United States. He has for seven
years admirably discharged the oner-
Gus functions of Warden of an un-
walled prison, so located as to be diff
cult to securely guard, and having
over six hundred convicts-many
of them the most desperate
men ever placed behind the
the bars. Yet he has established so
effective a system of discipline, and
been so watchful of his charges, that
no serious break has occurred since he
assumed the wardenship of the prison.
There are refractory characters in
Folsom who cannot he subdued by or
dinary means. Such fellows as Schmidt,
for instance, who is constantly planning
escape, even by numbering the guards,
cannot be coddled, but must be mas
tered by force. But to call it ''brutal'
to place such convicts in solitary con-
ment and to discipline them with cold
douches, is to imagine that the meth
DDS of ruling Il school would be safe
and effective in bring desperadoes like
Schmidt to terms.
